New, more complete and more useful Hungarian translation for Mantis

I am beginning to fed up with digging my mail all the time: did I finish working on an issue in one of my growing-number-of-projects or not? So I needed a bugtracker... But which one?

I can't stand Flyspray, and I am not alone with this attitude among users of frugal (given that IroNiQ doesn't know about all of our complains). After some hit-and-try test I came up to Mantis, but it's latest stable version does not have a usable Hungarian translation. There are only a few strings translated by several guys, so it is a bit inconsistent. In addition there are some issues with handling the codepages: while there are ISO-8859-2 encoded accents and stated accordingly, error messages regarding to codepages take up the bigger place of the pages.

That's why I made a brand-new Hungarian translation - from scratch, to avoid pressure of the old one. I tried to be consistent and solid, but I can't say I have finished the job: the error messages and JPgraph-related stuff are still awaiting to be translated. Nevertheless practice says it's just much more useful than it was before.

Hmm... Why haven't you mentioned this before? Why should i read this in a blog? What's your problem with Flyspray? I asked everyone to test the BTS. Noone said this is wrong.

Ehh... Bad for me to read such a blog entry.
Thanks...

First: I just have finished working on it at the time of writing.

Second: as I didn't record everything onto web (as a blog entry or anyhow), you didn't ask me if I had another choice or candidate for a BTS.

Third: Flyspray looks like a work-in-progress, not a stable application - at least to me, but I'm sure I'm not alone with this opinion. I still have access to pages that I shouldn't have, you are still working hard to fix it, it spits out various (error? sql?) messages regularly (as I have read on #frugalware).

Finally: I did not say that Mantis would be better for bugs.fw.o than Flyspray. All I said is that I wouldn't use Flyspray for projects of mine - I'm using Mantis instead. It has it's issues, too, but to a much less level: it looks like Mantis is easier to maintain for me than maintaining Flyspray for you.

Err... and this blog entry is just a translation of an entry of my personal blog, just to have something that people can read over at Mantis when I submit the translation. :)
